claude-3-haiku-20240307 and claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 retired in 2026 — move to claude-haiku-4-5 or claude-haiku-5-5

anthropic-apiclaude-3-haikuclaude-3-5-haiku#anthropic#claude#model-retirement#haiku
Fix

The deprecation page's listed replacement is claude-haiku-4-5-20251001; the current Haiku is claude-haiku-5-5 (default effort medium, adaptive thinking, 1M context).

model="claude-haiku-5-5"   # or "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001"

Note: claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 has a retirement commitment of only "not sooner than October 15, 2026", so prefer claude-haiku-5-5 for new code. Re-test cost: Haiku 5.5 thinks adaptively, and thinking tokens bill as output.
